      Heck yeah, that's poison.

      So they just come in your house, not cover anything and spray. That seems kind of nuts.

        I didn't know if it's like the stuff we have here that's non toxic. I have some bug spray that isn't poisonous.

            Does this city provide this service? Is it required?

              Here is a post that got "OP Embarrassed Deleted" after he was mocked for promoting something so pointless just to hype Sophos. I hate, though, that people get to delete this stuff and hide rather than having it made public that this stuff is just hype. It's valuable for people to know and @hutchingsp took the time to point it out only to have the OP delete his contribution too.

                Yes the city does this. Not "exactly" required but it is everyone's responsibility to keep the community safe. The standing water in our house could be where the malaria starts and kills kids somewhere else.

                  @scottalanmiller OP-ED should become the abbreviation, with reference to Viagra.

                    So... wait this is malware because it can encrypt files? Even though you have to run it? Even if it gets run as part of a script it would need to be run as root to have any major impact. I'm not sure what Sophos was getting at here. This looks like it is more a tool designed to show how easy it is to build ransomware applications.

                      Sophos look like idiots on this one. "You can hurt yourself" is now headline security news.

                        This reminds me of another post on SW about Linux "malware". It would attack a web server, but it had to be downloaded, opened, and then ran while the user was running as root.

                          It took me a couple of reads to figure out exactly what this guy was trying to do. He lacks some fundamental understanding of how a VM works...

                            I have a feeling that it is a lot of Windows people really desperate to find ways that Linux is vulnerable too and will post anything trying to show that there is some kind of risk that does not really exist in any significant way.

                              I found some malware in Linux. If you install vnc and open port 5900 and don't put a password on it, people can "hack" into your server!

                                    Turns out that a mod deleted that ridiculous Sophos post and not the OP. The OP just reposted it again 🙂

                                      What the crap.... this guy asked a totally ridiculous question, several of us took the time to answer and explain the situation, I wrote up a whole thing about web proxies or what different options he would have after he admitted that he had totally asked the wrong question (he asked about the answer rather than the goal) and then, after we put in the time explaining everything that he needed to know.... first he overwrote his post so that we could not see what he had written then he nuked the whole thing. Or someone did. Why does someone else have the right to delete my writing?

                                        And you can see here ... he was trying to use DNS because he couldn't figure out how to change a port config on an app...

                                          This deleting things as people are writing is way too common.

                                            And then he PMs me for the answer that I already provided that he deleted before reading.

                                            ARGH
